What H.R. 35 does
H.R. 35, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, would make it a federal crime to drive within 100 miles of the U.S. border while fleeing from a Border Patrol agent, or from a federal, state or local officer who is assisting or under the command of the Border Patrol. Penalties would include a mandatory minimum prison term when the offense results in death or serious bodily injury.
A non-U.S. national who is convicted of or admits to the offense would be inadmissible, deportable and ineligible for immigration relief, including asylum.
